Synopsis
A hilarious and heartbreaking biography, compiled from hundreds of interviews with friends, family, and comedian comrades of Chris Farley, THE CHRIS FARLEY SHOW is an intimate, often troubling portrait of a man who did everything to excess: his brilliantly spastic comedy, his famous generosity, and his devastating drug addictions that led to his death at the age of 33. A must-read for his fans, this book should also be intriguing for those who don't know, or don't even like, Farley's lowbrow antics--it's less about comedy than about the psychological forces that led to Farley's lovable triumph and tragic downfall.

No one dominated a stage the way Chris Farley did. For him, comedy was not a routine; it was a way of life. Fans knew Chris as Saturday Night Live's sweaty, swaggering, motivational speaker, or as the irresistible Chippendales stripper. His family knew him as sensitive and passionate, deeply religious, and devoted to bringing laughter into others' lives. But Chris did not know moderation, either in his generosity toward friends or in the reckless abandon of his drug and alcohol abuse. For ten years, Chris cycled in and out of rehabilitation centers; ultimately, despite three hard-fought years of sobriety, addiction took his life at the tragically young age of 33. Here he is remembered by family, friends, and colleagues--an evocative and harrowing portrait of a gifted and kindhearted man ultimately torn apart by the demons inside him.--From publisher description.

Publisher's Note
A portrait based on personal stories by friends and family members traces the late comedian's passionate dedication to bringing laughter into the lives of others, his successes on SNL and in numerous top films, and the incapacity for moderation that led to his fatal battle with drugs and alcohol.
